Abstract

Roorkee city is considered a small city in India (population of 116,809 in 2011) has been taken as case study. This city is growing like other Indian cities with growth rate of 2% yearly. The required services (water supply system, wastewater disposal system and solid waste management) to match this growth are not growing proportionally and are not appropriate and adequate, and are being stretched too much to accommodate this growth. This work is a step to develop an environmentally sustainable appropriate sanitation plan for Roorkee city. Existing situation analysis for wastewater disposal, solid waste management and water supply has been carried out for the city. It highlights the deficiencies in various existing and planned sanitation facilities for the city. The analysis also projects the future demand for water and sanitation services along with the possibility of resource mobilization, institutional development and implementation strategy for achieving city sanitation. The implementation of City Sanitation Plan (CSP) may cost US $ 45 Million and during 5 years implementation.
